The Populism Interviews

'The Populism Interviews hits the sweet spot of academic knowledge presented in an easily accessible non-academic format. A highly original collection of interviews with a broad group of established and emerging populism scholars, which is both fun to read and highly informative. Enjoy!' Cas Mudde, author of The Far Right Today 'Research on Populism has rarely addressed populism from the scholars' of the field perspective and, conversely, scholars on populism from different perspectives have rarely gathered to discuss the topic from different but interrelated angles. With its systematic cross-country and cross-disciplines interviewing, this volume constitutes a very valuable exception. Analytically innovative-for its articulation into definitions, causes, consequences and critical junctures-and empirically fascinating it suggests a future path for future research on populism.' Emanuela Caiani, Associate Professor in Political Science at Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, Italy 'Luca Manucci's interviews provide something desperately needed in the conversation about populism: direct answers to clear questions. Whether you are approaching this topic for the first time or are part of the conversation yourself, this volume does a masterful job of introducing the major debates about populism from a cross national, generational, and disciplinary perspective. A great read and enormously informative.' David Art, Professor of Political Science at Tufts University, USA
